She writes beautiful, short essays about very simple things: shoes, food, children, writing itself. Her sentences have great precision and clarity, and I learn a lot when I read her.' - Zadie Smith03'As far as the education of children is concerned I think they should be taught not the little virtues but the great ones...' So begins the titular essay in Natalia Ginzburg's extraordinary collection, which takes little subjects - shoes, meatballs, moneyboxes - and turns them into subjects of great significance. Whether she writes of the loss of a friend, the effects of World War II, the horrors of British food, the craft of writing, the importance of silence, or the Abruzzi, where she and her first husband lived in forced residence under Fascist rule, Ginzburg brings to her reflections the wisdom of a survivor and the spare, wry, and poetically resonant style that makes these essays as contemporary and relevant as when they were originally published.<br><br>Ginzburg is regarded as one of the finest and most important Italian writers of the twentieth century and this collection will introduce her remarkable writing to a new generation of readers.

Their everyday lives take shape around the possibilities that available foodstuffs have to offer and how to make best use of them. The Seven Culinary Wonders of the World transports you on an extraordinary culinary journey, exploring the origins and cultural history of seven familiar ingredients.<br>But which seven, and why?<br>The seven ingredients are all ones that are taken for granted, consumed every day without a second thought, but each has its own fascinating history and purpose. Rice is a staple. Salt is essential to our bodies. Honey satisfies our craving for sweetness. Pork, the most widely eaten meat worldwide, yet taboo in some cultures, is a major source of protein. The tomato, used in cuisine's around the world, is extremely versatile. Chile offers a unique kick, so essential to dishes such as curries and piquant salsas. And cacao is used to make chocolate. The 'magnificent seven' have rich and diverse cultural stories to tell, from the magical, aphrodisiac powers<br>associated with cacao in the Mesoamerican culture, to the introduction of tomatoes to Europe by the Spanish conquistadors in the sixteenth century, and the earliest<br>cultivation of rice in the Pearl Valley in China. <br><i>The Seven Culinary Wonders of the World</i> equips you with everything you need to know about these wonderful foodstuffs and provides a number of traditional and innovative recipes - with one of the ingredients in the starring role, of course - for you to enjoy.13Jenny Linford has written for the <i>Financial Times, Time Out London Eating and Drinking Guide</i>, <i>Square Meal</i>, and the <i>British Library's Food Stories</i> website.

Many still do, but there is a new option - more like an old option undergoing a stunning revival - on the scene. Pressure cookers cook so fast that they make it possible to start a dinner at the end of the work day and have it on the table in fifteen or twenty minutes flat. New electric pressure cookers, whether the widely touted InstaPot or the popular models from Presto, T-fal, Black + Decker, and other makers, are driving this revival: they are easy, safe, and packed with features mom or grandma's old stovetop model did not have. The world's leading blogger on pressure cooking, Barbara Schieving (of the blog Pressure Cooking Today), offers up more than 200 recipes, 150 of which are suppertime main courses, that are big on flavor, easy to make, family-friendly, and tested to perfection.13Over the past five years, Barbara's distinctive recipes and conversational style have earned her a dedicated readership across the globe.

The wonderfully evocative words in this collection resonate with universal emotions: the deep longing for home conjured up by the Welsh word hiraeth, or the transportive ability of good storytelling captured in the Urdu goya. Yet at the same time each is deeply ingrained in its place of origin: long, dark Danish days encourage the warmth and cosiness of hygge, while the satisfied chatter after a sun-soaked meal - sombremesa - resonates uniquely with Spanish hospitality. These words are simultaneously all-inclusive and peculiar to place; they are on the tip of our tongue and yet not in our vocabulary.The Happiness Passport delves into this treasure trove of delights, examining the cultural context of each and the lessons that we can apply in our own lives to achieve greater contentment.

He rapidly established himself as a formidable scholar, through studies of Ibsen and Blake and histories of English, Hungarian and world literature. He was a prolific essayist and reviewer, ranging across all the major European languages. Debarred by successive Jewish laws from working in a university, he was subjected to increasing persecution, and finally murdered in a forced labour camp in 1945. Pushkin Press publishes his novels The Pendragon Legend, Oliver VII and his masterpiece Journey by Moonlight, as well as the historical study The Queen's Necklace and Love in a Bottle and Other Stories.0401http://assets.allenandunwin.com/images/original/9781782274476.jpgPushkin01Faber Factory022018102401AU NZ02129mm01198mmUnited Book Distributors00100202A0124.990202A0127.99NZDNZAllen and Unwin05AU0120181024978191154725903159781911547259039781911547259BCB01Family Lexiconhttps://www.murdochbooks.com.au/browse/books/97819115472591A01Ginzburg, NataliaNatalia Ginzburg (1916-1991) was born in Sicily and is regarded as one of the most important Italian writers of the twentieth century.

When Holloway invites them to the dress rehearsal of a new play he is directing, Amory readily accepts. <br>However, she is shocked to learn that Holloway has cast his mistress, actress Flora Bell, in the lead role.

Her imagination is informed by one book, an illustrated child's bible, and its imagery forms the sole basis for her capacity to make poetic connection.<br><br>One day Hester takes a brave Alice in Wonderland trip into the forbidden outside (at the behest of Handle - 'turn me turn me'), and this overwhelming encounter with light and sky and sunshine is a marvel to her. From this moment on, Hester learns the concept of the secret, and not telling, and the world becomes something that fills her with feeling as if she is a vessel, empty and bottomless for need of it.<br><br>The story told by Hester in <i>One Foot Wrong</i> is often dark and terrible, but the sheer blazing brilliance of her language and the imagery that illuminates the pages make this novel an exhilarating, enlightening and joyous act of faith. The stars shine brightest out of the deepest dark.13Sofie Laguna won the 2018 Indie Book Award for Fiction for <i>The Choke</i> and her second novel for adults, <i>The Eye of the Sheep</i> - shortlisted for the Stella Prize - won the 2015 Miles Franklin Literary Award and was longlisted for the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award. Her first novel for adults, <i>One Foot Wrong</i>, published throughout Europe, the US and the UK, was longlisted for the Miles Franklin Literary Award and shortlisted for the Prime Minister's Literary Award. Sofie's many books for young people have been published in the US, the UK and in translation throughout Europe and Asia. She has been shortlisted for the Queensland Premier's Award, and her books have been named Honour Books and Notable Books by the Children's Book Council of Australia.

In this affecting selection, the Poet Laureate, Carol Ann Duffy, guides us deep into the act and root of 'armistice': its stoppage or 'stand' of arms, its search for truce and ceasefire. <br><br>In 100 poems, our most cherished poets of the Great War speak alongside those from other conflicts and cultures, so that we hear some of the lesser-heard voices of war, including wives, families, those left behind. <br><br>These poems of war and peace memorialise the horror and the tragedy of conflict. At the same time, in armistice, they become a record of renewal and a testimony to hope.13Carol Ann Duffy won the 1993 Whitbread Award for Poetry and the Forward Prize for Best Collection for <i>Mean Time.

When you've spent more than half a century at the epicentre of a band like The Who, perspective can be a problem. Everything happened in the moment. One minute, I'm on the factory floor in Shepherd's Bush, the next, I'm headlining Woodstock.<br><br>It's taken three years to unpick the events of my life, to remember who did what when and why, to separate the myths from the reality, to unravel what really happened at the Holiday Inn on Keith Moon's 21st birthday.<br><br>I hope the result is more than just another autobiography. I've been lucky enough to live in interesting times. I've witnessed society, music and culture change beyond recognition. That I'm still here to tell my tale when so many others around me didn't make it is nothing short of a miracle.'<br>Roger Daltrey<br><br>As immediate as Keith Richards' autobiography and as frank and honest as Springsteen and Clapton, <i>Thank You Mr Kibblewhite</i> is candid, self-deprecating and full of humour (the title refers to his music teacher at school who told him he'd never amount to anything) as Roger takes us through his early life and 50 years with The Who and their incredible 100 million selling career. His autobiography is a must-have not just for The Who fans worldwide, but also for any lover of rock music. <br><br>Born in the heart of the Blitz in March 1944, Roger fought his way (literally) through school and from poverty. His story is one of hard work, resilience and breathtaking energy. His accounts of the rock 'n' roll excesses for which The Who became notorious - the guitar smashing, the fistfights, the mayhem - are as entertaining as they are shocking. But as compelling as the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll are Roger's honest reflections on the relationships that have defined an incredible life and career - notably the bittersweet memories of his friendship with Keith Moon, and his tumultuous relationship with Pete Townshend which has defined one of the greatest creative partnerships of our age and given rise to so many unforgettable hits. Not only is this Roger's personal story, this is the definitive history of one of the world's biggest bands.13Roger Daltrey was born in London in 1944. He formed The Who in 1961, and has been one of the world's greatest rock musicians for over 50 years.0401http://assets.allenandunwin.com/images/original/9781760528348.jpgAllen & Unwin01Allen & Unwin022018102401AU CC CK CX FJ FM HM KI NF NR NU NZ PG PN PW SB TK TO TV VU WS02153mm01234mmUnited Book Distributors001000202A0234.990202A0239.99NZDNZAllen and Unwin05AU0120181024932455106644703159324551066447039324551066447XZPack01Mr Kibblewhite 10 copy packhttps://www.allenandunwin.com/browse/books/932455106644701engWZ2.101Includes 10 copies of <i>Thanks A Lot, Mr Kibblewhite</i>.Allen & Unwin01Allen & Unwin0420181024United Book Distributors00200000000000202A02349.90202A02399.9NZDNZAllen and Unwin05AU0120181024978176063253303159781760632533039781760632533BCC01Race Across the WorldThe incredible story of the world's greatest road race - the 1968 London to Sydney Marathonhttps://www.allenandunwin.com/browse/books/97817606325331A01Smailes, JohnJohn Smailes has worked as a motor racing journalist and PR consultant for more than four decades.

His most recent book is Allan Moffat's autobiography, <i>Climbing the Mountain</i>.01engWSP2.120London to Sydney marathon;car racing;Holden and Ford;driving marathons;Andrew Cowan01The rollicking adventure of the world's greatest car race - the 1968 London to Sydney Marathon.03In 1968, 98 competitors stormed out of London on the world's greatest automotive adventure. Four weeks later they arrived in Sydney - or at least half of them did. The others lay in ruins along the 10,000 mile route of the world's most gruelling test of vehicle and machine. The London-Sydney Marathon, the most ambitious and greatest car race ever staged was watched by millions, promoted by two great newspapers , Sir Max Aitken's <i>Daily Express</i> in London and Sir Frank Packer's <i>Daily Telegraph </i>in Sydney. It tore through borders which are now locked shut by war and insurrection. Armies turned out to carve its path. Whips and truncheons were used to force back crowds across Asia. Russian MIG fighters forced down a press-plane. Born in a time of economic anxiety gripping Britain the Marathon was conceived to lift the spirits of a nation. It was the flag bearer for new prosperity. So endemic was its influence that school curriculums were changed to enable students to follow its path across Europe, Asia and Australia. Unimaginable now in either concept or execution, the Marathon captured the rapt attention of whole countries through which it passed, and of the world as it created front page news. It was more than a car race, more than a rally, more than the trials that opened the outback of Australia only a decade before. It was called Marathon in homage to the greatest Olympic footrace of all time.<br><br>In Australia there was immense commercial competition between its two major manufacturers Holden and Ford. The quest for salesroom supremacy was fought out on the race tracks - Holden with its new coupe the Monaro and Ford with its soon to be iconic Falcon GT. Both factories entered the Marathon, each with a three car team. Neither was to win, but the story of their duel is a motor sporting legend. John Smailes has the inside story from both teams. He was so close to the Holden team that he carried spare parts for them on the press plane and downloaded first-person reports from team members' tape recorders at every stop. Many of the competing team members are still able to provide first hand retrospective on the greatest challenge of their lives.<br><br>Scotsman Andrew Cowan won in a tiny Hillman Hunter in the most controversial of circumstances. One by one the giants of the car racing world dropped out, defeated by the pace and the conditions. On the last competitive stage, so close to the finish that it was just over the horizon, Lucien Bianchi's leading Citroen crashed out in a collision with a privately owned car driving the wrong way. Bianchi, badly injured, was repatriated to France only to die in a fiery crash at the Le Mans 24 Hour race six months later. No-one died on the Marathon - not officially. But the huge crowds which lined the route through countries and regions which today have been made inaccessible by wars were at grave risk as the cars sped by. An Australian competitor arrived at a passage control to find a severed human foot wedged in his rear bumper. <br><br>The story of the Marathon has become legend in the field of motor sport and in human endeavour. November 2018 marks the 50th anniversary of the Marathon. It is a perfect time to produce the definitive inside story of the race across the world.13John Smailes has worked as a motor racing journalist and PR consultant for more than four decades.

It 'turns 5,000 years of history outside in.'03'This is history with all the eerie qualities of a short story by Borges: emperors wait for barbarians, labyrinthine complexes of walls are discovered in mysterious deserts. A haunting and brilliant achievement.' - Tom Holland, author of <i>Rubicon</i> and <i>Persian Fire</i><br><br>Historian David Frye presents a bold new thesis on how 'civilization' happens-the epic story of history's greatest manmade barriers, from ancient times to the medieval era and into the present.<br><br>At the dawn of humanity's ascent, there was only bloody conflict: nomadic tribes slashing at each other, and each man bred to a life of struggle and pillage. But then came the invention of the wall, dividing populations into two opposing groups. On one side were those who gained enough of a respite from the clash of arms to think, create, preserve, trade. On the other were the unwalled, warriors driven by the search for plunder.<br><br>In <i>Walls</i>, historian David Frye shows us what each side gained-and lost-with their decision about how to live. The stars of each chapter are the walls themselves-rising up in places as ancient and exotic as Mesopotamia, Babylon, Greece, China, Rome, Mongolia, Turkey, Afghanistan, Western Europe, and even Central and North America. As we journey across time and place, we discover thousand-mile-long walls in the desert wastes of Turkistan; learn of bizarre Spartan rituals; watch Genghis Khan drive his miles-long horde across the steppe; witness the epic siege of Constantinople; feel chilled at the extermination of French explorers of the lower Mississippi; inhale the gunpowder-scented air of France's Maginot Line; and visit some of the seventy border walls that have been erected in just the past decade.<br><br>With provocative insight, <i>Walls</i> charts the centuries-long uneasy tension between the walled and unwalled, showing that walls profoundly shape the human psyche. Creativity, vigour, hardiness, the urge to make one's mark-all depend heavily on whether one lives inside or outside a barrier. Frye's clarion call: walls make civilization possible, but if we depend on them too heavily, they also create a dangerous vulnerability.13David Frye received his PhD from Duke University and currently teaches ancient and medieval history at Eastern Connecticut State University.

Many people who have never actually been to an orchestral concert have an image of what one looks like. But rarely does such a well-known profession attract so many questions: 'Surely orchestras can play perfectly well without you? Do you really make any difference to the performance?'<br>This book is not intended to be an instruction manual for conductors, nor is it a history of conducting. It is for all who wonder what conductors actually do. Exploring the relationships with the musicians and music they conduct, and the public and personal responsibilities they face, leading conductor Mark Wigglesworth writes with engaging honesty about the role for any music lover curious to know whether or not the profession really matters.13Mark Wigglesworth has been conducting for thirty years, working with over a hundred orchestras and collaborating with many of the world's finest orchestra musicians, soloists, singers, and directors in venues ranging from Vienna's Musikverein to New York's Carnegie Hall, the Sydney Opera House to the Hollywood Bowl, and the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden to the Metropolitan Opera, New York.

Thinking is trouble. It can force us out of familiar, comforting habits, and it can complicate our relationships with like-minded friends. Finally, thinking is slow, and that's a problem when our habits of consuming information (mostly online) leave us lost in the echo chamber of social media, where speed and factionalism trump accuracy and nuance.<br><br>In this clever, witty book, Jacobs diagnoses the many forces that prevent thought - forces that have only worsened in the age of Twitter, such as 'alternative facts', and information overload. He also dispels the many myths we hold about what it means to think well. (For example: it's impossible to 'think for yourself'.)<br><br>Drawing on sources as far-flung as the novelist Marilynne Robinson, the basketball legend Wilt Chamberlain, the British philosopher John Stuart Mill and the Christian theologian C.S. Lewis, Jacobs digs into the nuts and bolts of the cognitive process, offering hope that each of us can reclaim our mental lives from the whirlpool of what now passes for public debate.<br><br>After all, if we can learn to think together, perhaps we can learn to live together.13Alan Jacobs is the Distinguished Professor of the Humanities at Baylor University.

Aged sixteen, she eloped with Percy Bysshe Shelley, embarking on a relationship that was lived on the move across Britain and Europe, as she coped with debt, infidelity and the deaths of three children, before early widowhood changed her life forever. Most astonishingly, it was while she was still a teenager that Mary composed her canonical novel <i>Frankenstein</i>, creating two of our most enduring archetypes today.<br><br>The life story is well-known. But who was the woman who lived it? She's left plenty of evidence, and in this fascinating dialogue with the past, Fiona Sampson sifts through letters, diaries and records to find the real woman behind the story. She uncovers a complex, generous character - friend, intellectual, lover and mother - trying to fulfil her own passionate commitment to writing at a time when to be a woman writer was an extraordinary and costly anomaly.<br><br>Published for the 200th anniversary of the publication of <i>Frankenstein</i>, this is a major new work of biography by a prize-winning writer and poet.13Fiona Sampson is a prize-winning poet and writer.

Charismatic and daring, Raffles forged an extraordinary path for himself in South East Asia - refusing to be satisfied with the trading posts available to the British, he defied Dutch governors and wrangled with warring local rulers to establish what is now a world city.<br><br>An ardent linguist and zoologist, Raffles spoke fluent Malay and found time to write <i>The History of Java</i>, as well as naming several species of flora and fauna he discovered on his travels. He founded London Zoo and promoted the study of Malay alongside European languages in Southeast Asia.<br><br>Raffles remains a controversial figure - a utopian imperialist, disobedient employee and knight of the realm who died deeply in debt, predeceased by all but one of his children. He built racial segregation into his urban planning, but was also a staunch abolitionist. Renowned biographer Victoria Glendinning charts Raffles' prodigious rise in this new edition, specially updated for the bicentenary of the foundation of Singapore in 1819.

Establishing the CWGC required people of huge vision to turn this terrible task into an international exemplar of how to honour the dead. The great founders, including Rudyard Kipling, took their task extremely seriously and devoted decades to designing and delivering their vision. As they enter their second century of operation, the CWGC Commissioners and staff around the world remain dedicated to holding high the torch of remembrance, conserving these special places so that the memories of those we look after are never lost to time.<br><br>This guidebook is intended to show you some of the CWGC's treasures - to tell you more about a well-loved organisation and who they commemorate. It reviews the records and archives from the last century, explores the top CWGC sites alongside detailed maps (including Essex Farm Cemetery, Belgium; the Thiepval Memorial, France; Kohima War Cemetery, India; Tower Hill Memorial UK and more), highlights places not easily reached - and those most challenging to maintain - and summarises a view for the future. Featuring extracts from the remarkable archives in Maidenhead, which include records from the Commission's foundation up to the present day, this illustrated guide celebrates a century of dedication to the fallen and the CWGF commitment to engaging the wider community in the story of our common sacrifice and shared history.13Catherine Lawson is a marketing, PR and communications professional who worked with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.0401http://assets.allenandunwin.com/images/original/9781908990921.jpgThird Millennium01Profile Books022018102401AU NZ02135mm01216mmUnited Book Distributors00100202A0139.990202A0145NZDNZAllen and Unwin05AU0120181024978178378483703159781783784837039781783784837BCC-format (Royal)01How the World ThinksA Global History of Philosophyhttps://www.allenandunwin.com/browse/books/97817837848371A01Baggini, JulianJulian Baggini's books include <i>Welcome to Everytown: A Journey into the English Mind, What's It All About?: Philosophy and the Meaning of Life</i>, the bestselling <i>The Pig that Wants to be Eaten, Do They Think You're Stupid?, The Ego Trick, The Virtues of the Table: How to Eat and Think,</i> and <i>Freedom Regained</i>, all published by Granta Books.

But has this knowledge cost us the ability to wonder? Wonder, Caspar Henderson argues, is at its most supremely valuable in just such a world because it reaffirms our humanity and gives us hope for the future. That's the power of wonder, and that's what we should aim to cultivate in our lives. But what are the wonders of the modern world?<br><br>Henderson's brilliant exploration borrows from the form of one of the oldest and most widely known sources of wonder: maps. Large, detailed mappae mundi invited people in medieval Europe to vividly imagine places and possibilities they had never seen before: manticores with the head of a man, the body of a lion, and the stinging tail of a scorpion; tribes of one-eyed men who fought griffins for diamonds; and fearsome Scythian warriors who drank the blood of their enemies from their skulls. As outlandish as these maps and the stories that went with them sound to us today, Henderson argues that our views of the world today are sometimes no less incomplete or misleading. Scientists are only beginning to map the human brain, for example, revealing it as vastly more complex than any computer we can conceive. Our current understanding of physical reality is woefully incomplete. <br><br><i>A New Map of Wonders</i> explores these and other realms of the wonderful, in different times and cultures and in the present day, taking readers from Aboriginal Australian landscapes to sacred sites in Great Britain, all the while keeping sight questions such as the cognitive basis of wonder and the relationship between wonder and science.<br><br>Beautifully illustrated and written with wit and moral complexity, this sequel to <i>The Book of Barely Imagined Beings</i> is a fascinating account of the power of wonder and an unforgettable meditation on its importance to our future.13Caspar Henderson has been a journalist and an editor with various publications and broadcasters, including BBC Radio 4, the <i>Financial Times</i>, the <i>Independent, Nature, New Scientist </i>and <i>openDemocracy</i> (where he was senior editor for three years).

The stories in <i>Leaving the Sea</i> take place in a world which is a distortion of our own, where strange illnesses strike at random and where people disappear without a trace. Ben Marcus has created a labyrinth populated by disturbed, weary men; from the frustrated creative writing teacher to the advocate of self-inhumation; from Paul, whose return home leads him further into his isolation, or Mather, whose child is sick, to an unnamed narrator who spends his lonely evenings calculating the probabilities of his mother's imminent demise. Dark, funny and utterly unique, <i>Leaving the Sea</i> showcases a writer at the height of his powers.13BEN MARCUS was born in Chicago in 1967.

Radio transmissions from strange sources indicate that people are going into hiding. All Sam and Claire need to do is look around the neighbourhood: in the park, parents wither beneath the powerful screams of their children. At night, suburban side streets become routes of shameful escape for fathers trying to get outside the radio of affliction.<br><br>With Claire nearing collapse, it seems their only means of survival is to flee from their daughter, Esther, who laughs at her parents sickness, unaware that in just a few years, she too, will be susceptible to the language toxicity. But Sam and Claire find it isn't so easy to leave the daughter they still love, even as they waste away from her malevolent speech. On the eve of their departure, Claire mysteriously disappears, and Sam, determined to find a cure for this new toxic language, presses on alone into a world beyond recognition.<br><br><i>The Flame Alphabet</i> invites the question: what is left of civilisation when we lose the ability to communicate with those we love?
